There I Was, Minding My Own Business

Every now and then one comes unexpectedly across a really strange creature.

Kurt Halbritter Siegfried Böttcher Komische Kunst Barfuesser

This delightful critter is the creation of Kurt Halbritter and is called a barefooter (Barfüßer) or pedarius nudus peregrinatorum. Halbritter made sketches of the barefooter in the 1970s, and in 2016 Siegfried Böttcher made it into a bronze sculpture. It now stands and waits to surprise unsuspecting strollers in the Brentano Park in Frankfurt as part of several art objects titled “Comical Art”.

The Rote Turm in Weinheim has been suffering from Empty Nest Syndrome for many years now. I think there were still storks living there during the summer when I was a little girl. Then the nest was abandoned.

Today there is again a thriving stork population. They have moved away from the town and into the plain, closer to food and company.
